Ok, I took the last one and generated a F10 RPM. In  
freefall:~netchild/public_distfiles/rpms/fedora10 I have now
   v4l-utils-0.8.3-2.fc10.i386.rpm
   v4l-utils-0.8.3-2.fc10.src.rpm

It should appear within 24h in the official distribution channels  
(MASTER_SITES like in the linux-f10-pango port). Feel free to test the  
libv4lconvert.so and update the port if it works for you.

Bye,
Alexander.
